Using SuperDuper I made a clone backup to a new Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500gb 7200 RPM drive (did not have the shock sensor) using FW. I then booted off this new setup and things were not right. e.g. it takes several clicks to get a response. When minimizing ICal the window starts down towards the dock but freezes before it becomes minimized. Firefox would come up but once again it would take several clicks before the action would take. I then installed this HD in my MBPro thinking it might be a FW thing but the same thing occurred after booting. Booting back to my original 160 GB HD now on FW and everything was normal! I then tried a WD 360 7200 RPM drive doing a SuperDuper clone of my 160 GB HD (now back in the MBPro) with much the same results as the Seagate. Then I tried a Hitachi 500 GB 5400 RPM drive this time making the clone via CarbonCopy. BTW I had uninstalled the Logitech Control Center Driver so the mouse was being run by OSX with no difference. This time things were a little better but Firefox still did not respond on the first click, the dock and Spaces would not respond (this also happened with the 2 other drives but not the original HD) every time. Also at each point I ran XBench to "test" the new HDs and the results were as expected (faster than my original HD). To me it appears that something in OSX is not right. I don't have my Leopard install disk with me (I left it at home in NM, I'm stuck in SoCal for the next month) or I would try a clean install on one of the new HDs (Frys is loving me!). Any suggestions? Regards, Bob ;D
